Blood Mountain is an independent non-profit organisation working at the intersection of contemporary art, architecture and design. Our mission is to generate fresh discourse and to encourage the production of new work. Central to our objective is the belief that culture is an agent for change and its open discourse and unrestricted practice are fundamental to the life of a participatory democracy. Through an ambitious programme of exhibitions, educational activities, public events, workshops, residencies, publications and new research and production-based projects, our mission is to attract world-class thinkers and to create new opportunities for local talent on the widest possible international platform.

The Belgrade Design Week was the best design conference I have ever enjoyed – the specific spirit of the city in a kind of in between status, the rough tension which can still be felt ten years after the bombs, the pride and the looking for new orientation especially in the young generation – all this is giving the BDW a special flair far away from the current events of the global design circus. In addition the enthusiastic organizational team trying hardly but unsuccessfully to keep the program along the schedules, the informal exchange between the international speakers, the loss of any discipline, the parties on the river … what ever and how ever the interrelations between these aspects are working – it makes the BDW an unique, likeable, inspiring and productive event, I will never forget.
